2018 Education Opportunities for Physicians and Physician Leaders

A Special Message for Physicians and Physician Leaders

Dear Colleague,

There are a number of challenges that impact quality and safety improvement efforts within ambulatory and inpatient settings. As physicians, many of us have questions and have to contend with challenges related to:

Reliable safety protocols that prevent errors and mitigate risk and at the same time support the work of staff in increasingly complex environments

Non-traditional access to care, including tele-health and home care programs

Ambulatory safety nets to prevent missed and delayed diagnosis

Population health efforts and outcomes

Provider resilience and combating burnout

Healthcare equity

Effective promotion of a culture of safety

Optimization of safety huddles

Defining and leading changes in our local practices

Communicating medical errors to patients

Standardizing care across multidisciplinary teams

How we deal with the opioid crisis

How we handle drug shortages

Mitigating the emotional toll of medical errors

Accountability in a Just Culture environment

Empowering physicians to drive improvement and safety

More effective use of the electronic medical record for decision support

The 2018 Healthcare Quality and Safety conference offers evidence-based strategies and state-of-the-art approaches to these issues.

We invite you to join us for this exciting and timely program and look forward to meeting you.
